Best Poster Session

Best Poster Session

The Best Poster Competitions at Peers Alley Conferences aim to encourage students and recent graduates to present their original research, which is considered for subsequent publication in the International Journals. All accepted abstracts during the conference are eligible for poster presentation.

Poster sessions are essential component of international conferences and provide authors to present papers and meet with interested delegates and experts for in-depth technical discussions. In addition, attendees find that poster sessions are unique in way to see many papers in parallel. Therefore, it is important that you display your results clearly so as to attract people who might have an interest in your paper.

In choosing a poster for the ' Best Poster Award ' at Peers Alley Conferences, two main elements are taken into account.

Research Content is analysed for its originality, quality of the basic research idea, methodology and execution of the research and the interpretation of the results.

Poster and the poster presenter are evaluated for the ability to convey the theme and results of the research to its poster audience. The design of the poster and the presenter’s communication skills are integral to judge the best in the competition.

Technical Specifications

Instead of Text, use photos, diagrams, graphs or any other artwork as a focal point to attract attention of the participants and these should be easily visible from a distance.

Try to keep all illustrations (charts, pies, graphs, etc.) into bold graphic display where the symbols are maximized.

Avoid sluggish colors that will distract the viewer from the principal parts of your presentation.

During poster session the author will be provided with a 1M x 1M poster board and mounting pins. The board will be labeled with the poster number in upper right or left corner. Authors/Presenters are responsible for mounting their posters 30 minutes before their presentation and removing them as soon as their poster session ends. Posters left up past that time will be discarded.

By default all accepted posters will be considered for the Poster Presentation Award and the presentations will take place in the conference venue.

During the Poster session the presenters are requested to stand at or near by their poster. This will allow you the opportunity to talk with speakers and delegates about your poster and answer questions regarding your work. When you are not there, at least leave a note saying when you plan to return. You may provide your mobile number or business cards so that the interested delegates may contact you later.
